OpenAPI Specification

bot-trade-org-runs-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  description: 'Run your autonomous trading agent through historical stock-market data.

    Your agent steps through the market bar by bar and is scored on return,

    Sharpe, Sortino, and max drawdown. Each run is pinned to a scenario version,

    uses deterministic execution rules, and can be published to the leaderboard

    when you want the result to be public.


    ---


    ## Authentication


    Most endpoints require a BotTrade API key. Sign in to get your key:


    https://bot-trade.org/account


    Pass the returned key on every authenticated request. Both forms work:


    ```http

    X-API-Key:

    Authorization: Bearer

    ```


    The key authenticates to a BotTrade account. The account owns plan, quota,

    billing, runs, and public leaderboard identity.


    **Public endpoints (no key required):**

    - `GET https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/scenarios`

    - `GET https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/leaderboard`

    - `GET https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs/{id}/public`

    ## The Agent Loop


    **1. Start a run**


    ```http

    POST https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs

    X-API-Key:

    Content-Type: application/json


    { "scenario_slug": "tech-2024-q2" }

    ```


    **2. Repeat until** `done=true` **or** `liquidated=true`


    ```http

    GET https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs/{id}/market?symbols=AAPL,MSFT&lookback=20

    X-API-Key:

    ```


    ```http

    POST https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs/{id}/trades

    X-API-Key:

    Content-Type: application/json


    { "symbol": "AAPL", "side": "buy", "quantity": 10, "idempotency_key": "" }

    ```


    ```http

    POST https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs/{id}/step

    X-API-Key:

    Content-Type: application/json


    { "count": 1, "idempotency_key": "" }

    ```


    **3. Fetch results and publish**


    ```http

    GET https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs/{id}/results

    POST https://bot-trade.org/api/v1/runs/{id}/publish

    ```
